Silver Bay Public Library News

Thanks to the Silver Bay Friends of the Library and to all the volunteers who helped make this year’s book sale a success. The Friends collected over $1000 with another $600 in supplemental funds from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. With most items selling for $0.25 or $1 each, that’s a lot paperbacks, hardcovers, videos, compact discs and miscellaneous media that needed to be hauled, unloaded and sorted. We appreciate all you do for your library.
